Part of the Dulwich Festival, the Festival Fair brings together a selection of the best craftspeople, designers, independent shops, family fun, bars and cafes from the vibrant and creative East Dulwich area. The Police will be there with their car to explore as well as the local Fire Brigade. From bouncy castles to beer tents, handmade children?s tee-shirts to homemade cakes, designer jewellery to local photography, the Festival Fair brings together the essence of SE22. Nibble delicious food from The Blue Mountain Cafe as you take in the stylish arts and craft stalls; enjoy a drink from the East Dulwich Tavern refreshment tent as your children have their faces painted for free.


New this year is the The Mad hatter?s tea party. Children are invited to bring a picnic and join the tea party at noon. They can wear a hat, or make one. For aspiring hatters mad or otherwise, there'll hat making sessions for children starting at 11am and 1pm. Also new this year will be donkey rides for children. Four gorgeous donkeys will work all day to give the children a memorable ride around Goose Green. 11am to 4pm, admission free.

If you're interested in citizens' digital rights, please come and visit our stall at the fair today to find out more. We have past reports to give away and plenty of other information, plus our able volunteers can answer any questions you may have.

Blimey what with all the outside tables of the various catering establishments along that end of Lordship Lane being packed out it was like Brighton sea front on a sunny bank holiday! The Fair was great value - too late for the home-made cakes - but the Blue Mountain banana cake was nice. Astonishingly long queues for the donkeys and the bouncy-thing. It seemed like every family in SE22 was there. I hope the weather is as good for the one in Dulwich Park next Sunday - isn't that the one where they are having the Mad Hatter's thing though?


Oh and I did pick up some stuff from the Open Rights Group stall as well :)) - and sampled the lovely bread, olive oil and ham on the Locale one...mmmm>:D<


Kudos to the EDT for allowing 8 million people access to their toilets...:))

Yeah... it's a real pain when pubs make a point of pasting-up 'customers only' signs when there's an event nearly with limited bog facilities.

Though I expect being able to flog their booze on the green was something of a sweetener.

I saw those "I Love SE22" bags too - thought they were fab until I saw the ?10 price tag!

I'd have been surprised if they sold any as the "Dulwich Going Greener" jute bags were being sold for ?2 each! I saw plenty of people wandering around with them!


All in all I thought it was a fabulous day! Great to see so many EDF's there too - and I think we were indeed one of the last groups to leave the Green!

    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.      
    • Hi all Does anyone know someone who can make a window seat cushion and cover? See image of window seat. Thank you.
    • Don't know why but it seems like there have been impromptu fireworks since early September. At one point I even wondered if there was a shooting range or something like that over Dulwich Hamlet way- the direction where the firework sounds seem to be coming from? Is there some kind of new, fireworks craze going on and where are people getting them, out of season?
